Hey every one. If you are an NES pro, maybe you can help me out.

I have been trying to remember this great game I used to play with a friend WAY back in the day.

Here's what I remember:

You could play one or two player (I think the characters were brothers), and you went around this town (side scrolling) beating up the bad guys. When you defeated an enemy, they would drop little coins that you could collect and use to purchase better/cooler moves.

Does that ring a bell for any one?

Sorry I dont really remember any more of the game... Only that it was lots of fun. ^_^

I believe you're speaking of River City Ransom, Kaji. Fun game, played it myself.

Does the word "Barf!" come to mind?

There are several NES games that would fit that description. Do any of these ring a bell?

River City Ransom

[There was an image here, but it disappeared...]

Contra

[Yup, nothing here either.]

Bad Dudes

[Egads!]

There are a lot more, but the game you are describing sounds most like River City Ransom.

Edit: cursed bandwidth issues...if want to see pics of those games and many more, just visit www.vgmuseum.com .

Yeah, that's River City Ransom alright.

Here's a video of it--with a live-action dramatization..

Barf!

Thanks Zilch and CB, the River City Ransom one does sound familliar. But I know its not the other two...

I will go check it out and let you know if that was the one I was looking for.

EDIT: Yep that was it guys. And thanks for the amusing clip LA.

at first i thought "hmm bad dudes"

but the coin part definately relates to river city ransom

Super Mario Brothers.

-Is kidding.-

I remember, being little fiddlng with my NES. It`s funny that games like Paper Boy were popular because if a game like that was released today it would make zero cash.

For everyone who doesn't know, River City Ransom was recently rereleased on GBA with better graphics and stuff. Buy it.

Even though I`ve never played it, i can assure you it`ll be a better experience and MUCH easier to find. Too bad it`s not for SNES because Ebgames.com is having a huge SNES sale. The highest price I saw was S2.99.

Double Dragon! Not the first one maybe 2.

Oooohhhh.....Double Dragon 1 was the second videogame I ever owned. The First was the original and best game of the series: Kirby`s Dreamland.
